Eveready terminates Energizer products distribution contract

Eveready East Africa has acrimoniously terminated its near half-century distribution agreement with Energizer Holdings, with the Kenyan firm saying the contract was tilted in favour of the American multinational.

The troubled battery firm says its long-standing pact with Energizer restricted it from pricing products, picking those that best fit the Kenyan market or even from independently diversifying its portfolio.
